Dr. Ine Leus Reviews

IN THE NEWS.

Dr Burstin is retiring December 2020. Dr Burstin has been a teacher and a mentor to all of us and we know how valuable he has been to the families he has cared for over his 4 decades as a pediatrician. We will all miss him very much. Below is a letter he has shared for all of you.

Dear Pediatric Associates Families:
After more than 42 years as a pediatrician with NYU School of Medicine and over 38 years at Pediatric
Associates of NYC, the time has come for me to retire from clinical practice and December 30, 2020
will be my last day.
I am humbled by the trust and respect you and your families have given me throughout the years. I
have always tried to remember who I am: a first generation American from Brooklyn, with a good
memory and a strong sense of right and wrong.
I have loved seeing you as children, parents and grandparents. I want to thank those of you who spoke
with me in my other two languages for helping me maintain my language skills. A special thanks to our
NYU family for allowing me to be a part of your lives and care for your children and your
grandchildren. Finally, to all the mothers, especially those mothers of special children, I will always be
in awe at how you balance your lives and I will miss all of you.
Pediatrics is an amazing field of medicine that has allowed me to continually learn, teach and serve as
an advocate for all children. While I will continue to teach medical students at NYU, the pediatricians
at Pediatric Associates will continue to practice the highest level of pediatrics and I know I am leaving
you in the best of hands.
If you feel the need to contact me for non-medical issues, please email me at [email protected] .
This email will be active until March 1, 2021.

Harris Burstin MD
Pediatric Associates of NYC

BCBS HealthPlus/Gatekeeper Participants:

As of January 2020 EBCBS Marketplace Gatekeeper plans were replaced by EBCBS Heathplus/Gatekeeper plans. As a result of this transition, BCBS has experienced technical difficulties in uploading our providers to their HealthPlus platform and our physicians are not listed as participating providers. Should you encounter this problem, please contact our billing department at 212.725.3040 so we can assist you.
